Schedule Overview#

The Schedule app in Pipedream is a powerful tool that allows you to trigger workflows at regular intervals, ranging from every minute to once a year. This enables the automation of repetitive tasks and the scheduling of actions to occur without manual intervention. By leveraging this API, you can execute code, run integrations, and process data on a reliable schedule, all within Pipedream's serverless environment.

Trigger Code#

import schedule from "../../schedule.app.mjs";

export default {
  name: "Monthly Schedule",
  version: "0.0.2",
  key: "schedule-monthly",
  type: "source",
  description: "Trigger your workflow on one or more days each month at a specific time (with timezone support).",
  props: {
    schedule,
    cron: {
      propDefinition: [
        schedule,
        "cron",
      ],
      default: {
        cron: "0 10 1 * *",
      },
    },
  },
};

Confluence Overview#

The Confluence API allows you to harness the collaborative power of Confluence programmatically. With it, you can automate content creation, update pages, manage spaces, and extract data for reporting or integration with other tools. Leveraging this API within Pipedream enables streamlined workflows that can react to events or schedule tasks, interacting with Confluence data and connecting to an array of other apps and services.

Action Authentication#

Confluence uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Confluence account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Confluence and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Confluence API.

Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
